One person was killed while 12 others were injured when unidentified armed men attacked the camp office of a private oil and gas company in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa\u2019s Dera Ismail Khan on Monday.<\/p>\n

Rescue 1122 spokesperson Bilal Faizi confirmed the casualties and injuries to Dawn.com<\/em>. He said the incident took place in the Darazinda area.<\/p>\n

Faizi said the wounded were moved to the District Headquarters Hospital of Dera Ismail Khan. Two of them are in critical condition.<\/p>\n

After receiving the information about the incident, a heavy contingent of police reached the area and started a search operation.<\/p>\n

Last week, two police personnel were martyred and three others were wounded in a similar attack<\/a> on Al-Haj Oil and Gas Private Drilling Company\u2019s camp office. Three other policemen were also wounded in the incident.<\/p>\n

Pakistan has seen a renewed wave of assaults targeting security personnel in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa \u2014 particularly DI Khan \u2014 and Balochistan.<\/p>\n

On Nov 3, a bomb blast<\/a> near a police patrol killed five and left over 20 injured in Dera Ismail Khan city. Just two days later, militants targeted security personnel at a checkpoint in the district\u2019s Tank area. That attack was repelled and at least 10 assailants were killed. The same evening, a checkpoint in the Roori area came under attack, injuring a constable.<\/p>\n

On Nov 4, nine terrorists were neutralised by security forces after they infiltrated<\/a> a Pakistan Air Force training base in Mianwali.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Gwadar, at least 14 Pakistan Army soldiers lost their lives<\/a> on Nov 3 after militants ambushed two vehicles of security forces.<\/p>\n

Last month, data compiled<\/a> by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS) said the number of militant attacks in August was the highest tally for monthly strikes in almost nine years.<\/p>\n

There were 99 attacks across the country, the highest number in a single month since November 2014, the report had said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
